Departed

There are (at least) 5 bands with the name Departed:1) Electronic Pop band from Malmö, (Sweden)2) Metalcore band from Warsaw (Poland)3) Death metal group from Alhambra, California (USA)4) Brutal Death Metal band from East Java (Indonesia)5) Death Metal/ Deathcore band from Bosna i Hercegovina1 - Valdi Solemo (last 1,5 yrs also touring with S.P.O.C.K) & Magnus Johnsson (also lead singer in Quelles Paroles) decided to form the band Departed during the summer of 2011. Their first release was the song "Until The Moment Comes" on the Swedish Label Electric Fantastic Sounds album - Electric Fantastic Sound No. 7 2011 (released 19/9-2011). New own releases to come during autumn and winter of 2011. Their music can be described as electronic pop based on melodies, harmonies & inspiration from the electronic music that arrised in the 80's. This combined with serious lyrics & pumping beats. Greatest influences ought to be their favorite artists that popped up in the 80's, like Depeche Mode, Yazoo & Howard Jones. But also modern young bands like Hurts, Chromeo & Mirrors are big favorites of the guys in Departed.You can listen to them & learn more about them on:www.facebook.com/departedpop www.soundcloud.com/departedpop & www.listn.to/departedpop2 - Departed was initially founded back in 2005 by Maciek (guitar), Blaszak (bass), and Vipold (drums). Through the next year, due to various circumstances crew has changed - since fall of 2005 the line-up remains still: Vipold (drums), Pavel (guitar), Qba (guitar) and Morwin (bass). Throughout whole next year Departed tirelessly tested hordes of vocalist-wannabes, until Rob (former band: Vaintroth) joined in during november of 2006. From then our music changed a lot - songs got slightly faster and more technical, vocal parts have given more agression to the music. After uncountable rehearsals, we recorded our first demo* in may 2007. Now we prepare for our first concerts - in Pretekst and Progresja clubs, and then - during the summer - in rest of (hopefully not only) local clubs. Main thing that links us is metalcore indeed, but in fact every of us likes another kind of music - from core scene, through old school thrash/death/black to progressive music. We consider our music as a part of huge nowadays metalcore community, and with such variety of influences, Departed is trying to make something new in metalcore scheme. We hope you'll enjoy the time while listening to us, and we hope to see anyone of you on our concerts! *quite poor record quality, we need to mix it again, but you can listen to some track until we finish the next mix.
